RIC session focuses on interagency collaboration
Attendees at last week’s 2026 Regulatory Information Conference, hosted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, saw extensive discussion of new reactor technologies, uprates, fusion, multiunit deployments, supply chain, and much more.
With the industry in a state of rapid evolution, there was much to discuss. Connected to all these topics was one central theme: the ongoing changes at the NRC. With massively shortened timelines, the ADVANCE Act and Executive Order 14300, and new interagency collaboration and authorization pathways in mind, speakers spent much of the RIC exploring what the road ahead looks like for the NRC.

Decay heat is a potentially important energy source in the ITER safety analysis. Decay heat analyses were performed for the ITER shielding and breeding blanket designs using the proposed operational scenarios for the base performance and extended performance phases (BPP and EPP). Decay heat due to operational scenarios deviated from the BPP were also investigated.
